Be understandable that, as well-known to those skilled in the art, described forging wheel workpiece can be that single type forges or single type forges and revolves (spun) of system, also can be multi-piece type welding and/or mechanical fasteners, for example, have moulded board wheel disc and rolled sheet metal wheel rim, this is taken turns workpiece and can utilize still air, force air, spraying, spray or any other suitable method or medium to carry out quenching or cooling after the moulding, with the cooldown rate that obtains to look for.Can produce and have or do not have the surface compression residual stress state that causes by prestressing force.It can carry out or not carry out surface finish and produce.It can have or not have protective finish and produce, for outward appearance and/or corrosion resistance, its can have the polymer protective finish such as, for example acrylic acid, polyester or other material, paint coatings, chrome plating coating or any other coating that is fit to.If requirement can be adopted surface finish and protective finish simultaneously.
Be understandable that,, can heat-treat to optimize the combination of nature and artificially aged the wheel workpiece according to structure section thickness as well-known to those skilled in the art.An example of this optimization can comprise and utilizes long firing rate to replace natural aging time under ambient room temperature to first step artificial aging temperature.Be understandable that equally,, can slightly regulate so that reach character such as the intensity and the corrosion resistance of gained material described artificial aging as well known to those skilled in the art.For the example of this adjusting well known to those skilled in the art comprises, the equipment intensification degree that will be possible to use (just, the rate of heat addition relatively slowly) combine with shorter retention time under the uniform temperature, and the operation of the preferred second step timeliness can be directly to heat up or can exist between first and second steps from the first step intentionally to have a mind to and tangible time/temperature interrupt.Another variation of artificially aged can be put upside down first and second steps.Equally extensively be known that, be warmed up to given or target treatment temperature and/or itself can produce the timeliness effect from the cooling of given or target treatment temperature, this may and usually need to take in by this type of alternating temperature condition and their timeliness effect are incorporated in total Ageing Treatment.For example, in programmable air furnace, described temperature can little by little be elevated to temperature levels in reasonable time length, even does not have the real retention time, and the Ageing Treatment of implementing to be fit to can be cooled to room temperature with metal afterwards.The timeliness mode of this combination more continuous, that have alternating temperature and the effect of corresponding a plurality of temperature timeliness thereof makes may carry out artificial aging with a continuous heat treatment in single programmable stove.Yet, for convenience and be convenient to understand, the preferred embodiments of the invention have been carried out describing in more detail, as if each step is all different with other step.
More detailed in now Fig. 7, shown the result who contains the test that low copper 7000 series alloys and standard 6061 alloy phases relatively carry out who in making forged aluminium wheel of the present invention, adopts.Described test is to have to induce the crooked member of wheel fully rotation test, and is considered to this is taken turns the design meaningful test.Fig. 7 is to be the relation curve that the logarithm of the load of unit and the circulation that fatigue crack begins is represented with Newton meter (n.m.) (N-m).For described 6061 alloys, as represented on the logarithmic scale, the crackle of 6061 alloys under the load of about 5039N-m begins to occur in average about 90, after 000 circulation, crackle under the load of about 4344N-m begins to occur in average about 180 subsequently, after 000 circulation and after the crackle under the load of about 3649N-m begins to occur in average about 670,000 circulations.In order to compare these fatigue test results and fatigue test results of the present invention, can see that the curve and 6061 tests that contain low copper 7000 series alloys fatigue tests are compared, the present invention has obtained sizable fatigue behaviour and has improved.For hanging down copper 7000 series alloys of the present invention containing, as represented on the logarithmic scale, crackle under the load of about 5039N-m begins to occur in about 750, after 000 circulation, crackle under the load of about 4344N-m begins to occur in after average about 1,3000,000 circulation and the crackle under the load of about 3649N-m begins to occur on average about 2 subsequently, after 500,000 circulations.Table I has demonstrated test data.
